Metal waterpump, great upgrade!

Not. :rolleyes:



That's what happens when a bit of some kind of debris locks the metal water pump up.

Would have just taken the impeller off a plastic one. Fitted for a reason. :whistle:

It was some bit of fairly tough plastic. Can happen if the bearings seize which is more likely with metal too!

Because the water pump threw the cambelt and bent the valves I'd guess
